Current research aimed to compare the efficacy of computer-assisted cognitive rehabilitation (CACR), stimulant drugs and Placebo CACR on executive functions and clinical symptoms of children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
The investigators administered a randomized controlled trial (RCT) through random assignment of ADHD subjects in to three different groups to compare the effects of CACR, immediate-release methylphenidate, and a Placebo CACR (i.e. some computerized tasks assumed not having any therapeutic effects) on the functioning of children with ADHD.
